I can confirm KIES motorsports has indeed figured it out! No more FEMTO required!
Spoke to Dane at Kies and he let me know that they successfully flashed 8 DMEs with no problem. He did mention to me that there may sometimes be a hiccup in bootmod3 when flashing it saying it doesn't detect an unlock but from what he said is you are good to proceed with the flash and it works!
Since FEMTO is technically also a partial unlock (FEMTO uses their own custom ROM software to flash) this isn't.... meaning once you do this unlock you will NOT need to resend it if you would like to switch from bootmod3 to MHD.

Super exciting to hear honestly and he did confirm that they DO NOT open the DME as autotuner does. IT IS COMPLETELY SOFTWARE.

Also written on their website:
Key highlights:

  • All unlocks are performed at the KIES HQ in New Jersey (Address provided at checkout)
  • Average turnaround of 1-2 business days
  • DMEs are NOT opened during unlock
  • Price includes 1 business day return shipping for the lower 48 domestic states
  • Compatible with Bootmod3 (including CustomRom), MHD (including MHD+) and MG Flasher.
  • Compatible with B46, B48, B58, S58, N63 and S63 (See compatibility chart below)
  • Special KIES exclusive bundle for unlock + bootmod3
Important notes:

  • You must have a factory-sealed DME. Opened DMEs will be denied service and sent back at the customer's expense.
  • Please ensure to disable automatic software updates in your BMW to prevent the locking of the DME.
  • Below you will see two options for the unlock. One option is for UNLOCK ONLY and the other (which specifies it includes a bootmod3 license) includes a standard bootmod3 license.
  • Customer is responsible for shipping the DME to KIES for unlocking.

Im glad kies is doing the USA unlocks now but whats with the price? If they are stateside why are they the most expensive option for a unlock? A90 shop is 300 less and diy femto is half the price for the same service you just wait 3 more days if shipped on monday.

Because they're the only stateside option.

The two week wait is over!!!
++ not having to send your DME across the world is always worth the price. Can insure the package too! Less risky. I wonder if you lived close by and called if they could squeeze in a same day unlock...
I'm sure they'll be swamped. Just in time for black friday sales, am I right guys? 😄

Now they claim they don’t need to open the DME, but reserve the right to open.

I saw this comment on the femto comment section that autotuner no longer needs you to physically open your DME anymore. can anyone find anything more concrete?

They changed it on their website to say you don’t need to open it, but they reserve the right to open it. See a couple posts above and OP.
